It’s October and Halloween is just around the corner. Like so many other celebrations this year, Halloween will be different, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have a fantastic scare. Get your spooky costumes ready and check out some of our favorite Halloween activities to do (offered by POP loved partners) this month!


WOODLAND SPIRITS 
If you enjoy all the folklore that includes dark forests and creatures, then this is the event for you. Enjoy Fernbank Museum’s outdoor Woodland Spirits experience from September 19th to November 8th – it will keep you spooked during the day or evening. Come ready to meet ghostly figures that come to life during Halloween at the Woodland Spirits exhibit. From haunted outposts and harvest stories, to a monster garden with scarecrows, you will have tons of fun celebrating Halloween!
